This invention relates to novel imidoylureas and imidoylthioureas and to their preparation.

In one aspect of this invention, there is provided novel l-phenyl-3-alkanimidoylureas having the formula where R is alkyl or R R NY, where Y is alkylene and R and R which can be the same or different, each are lower-alkyl or benzyl, or R and R taken together with the nitrogen form a heterocyclic ring of the group consisting of morpholino, thiomorpholino, piperidino, pyrrolidino, piperazino, N-lower-alkylpiperazino and N- phenylpiperazino; R and R' each are hydrogen or loweralkyl; R" is lower-alkyl; Q is one or two to n of the same or different substituents of the group consisting of loweralkoxy, phenyl-lower-alkoxy, lower alkanoyloxy, hydroxy di(lower alkyl)amino, lower alkanoylamino, amino, lower-alkylsulfonyl, lower-alkylsulfinyl, lower-alkylthio, trihalomethyl, trihalomethoxy, nitro, cyano and halo; n is an integer from 1 to 5; and m is an integer from 0 to (S--n).

Another aspect of this invention is the provision of novel 1-phenyl-3-alkanimidoylureas of the formula giant-1kg NE E R-ii-NHC-NH III where R is alkyl or R R N-Y, where Y is alkylcne and R and R which can be the same or different, each are lower-alkyl or benzyl, or R and R taken together with the nitrogen form a heterocyclic ring of the group consisting of morpholino, thiomorpholino, piperidino, pyrrolidino, piperzino, N-lower-alkylpiperazin and N-phenylpiperazino; R" is lower-alkyl; Q is one or two to n of the same or difierent substituents of the group consisting of lower-alkoxy, benzyloxy, lower-alkanoyloxy, hydroxy, di(lower alkyl)amino, lower alkanoylamino, amino, lower-alkylmercapto, trihalomethoxy, trihalomethyl, nitro, cyano and halo; n.- is an integer from 1 to 5; and m is an integer from 0 to (5-1:).

Another aspect of this invention is the provision of novel imidoylureas having the formula NH 0 R H3NH -NH-R where R is phenyl when R, is alkyl or nitrophenyl; and R is S-nitro-Z-furyl when R, is alkyl, nitrophenyl or halo phenyl.

It will be understood that when R, of formula IV is halophenyl the phenyl ring can bear one, or two to five of the same or different halo substituents which can be attached at any of the available positions and when there are a plurality of halo substituents, these halo substituents can occur in any position combinations relative to each other.

Another aspect of this invention is the provision of novel imidoylureas having the formula where R, is alkyl; and R is cyclohexyl or 2-thienyl.

It will be understood that the substituents represented by R" in formulas I, II and III as defined hereina'bove can be attached to the phenyl ring at any of the available positions and when there are a plurality of substituents R, these substituents can be the same or different and can occur in any of the position combinations relative to each other.

The compounds of formula -I and formula II are prepared by. the following methods:

By reacting, in a suitable solvent, that is, a solvent which is essentially inert under the conditions of the reaction, an amidine of the formula IIYH R-C-NHR' with an isocyanate of the formula PhN=C=O VII or alternatively, where R'" is lower-alkyl, a carbamyl chloride of the formula RI" 0 PhI I- Cl VIIa where R and R have the meaning hereinbefore defined for R and R of formula I and formula II; and P11 is lower-alkanoylamino, lower-alkylsulfonyl, lower-alkylsulfinyl, lower-alkylthio, trihalomethyl, trihalomethoxy,

I; or Phis where R" and m have the meaning hereinbefore defined for R" and m of formula II.

The reaction is preferably carried out by reacting an amidine of formula VI with an equivalent amount of an 'isocyanate of formula VII in a non-hydroxylic solvent,

alternatively, an equivalent amount of a carbamyl chloride of formula VIIa, for example, acetone or benzene, at temperatures ranging from about 5 C. to about 15 C., for about one-half hour, and then allowing the temperature of the reaction mixture to rise to room temperature. The reaction is usually complete after about one hour. When a carbamyl chloride of formula VIIa is the reactant, it is preferred that at least one equivalent of a suitable acid-acceptor, e.g., triethylamine or pyridine, is added in order to take up the hydrogen chloride formed during the course of the reaction. However, the reaction can be performed successfully in the absence of said acid-acceptor if desired.

The exothermic reaction can be carried out at temperatures ranging from about 0 C. to about 80 C. However, the resulting desired compounds of formula I, where R is hydrogen, can react further with the unreacted isocyanate, represented by formula VII, or carbamyl chloride, represented by formula VIIa especially at elevated temperatures, to form undesired side products. In order to avoid or minimize such further reaction, the reaction is preferably carried out initially at temperatures below room temperature using approximately equimolar amounts of the appropriate amidine and isocyanate or carbamyl chloride.

The compounds of formula I and formula III where Q and Q respectively include one or more amino and/or hydroxy substituents are prepared, by well known catalytic hydrogenation procedures, from the corresponding compounds where Q and Q include one or more nitro and/ or benzyloxy substituents respectively, whereby said substituents are converted to amino and/or hydroxy substituents.

The catalytic hydrogenation is carried out at room temperature in an inert solvent, e.g. ethyl alcohol, under essentially neutral conditions in the presence of a suitable catalyst, e.g. Raney nickel or palladium on charcoal, and at about atmospheric pressure and the hydrogenation is stopped after a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen has reacted.

It will be understood that the substituents represented by Q and Q as defined hereinabove can be attached to the phenyl ring at any of the available positions and where there are a plurality of substituents Q and/or Q, these substituents Q and/or Q respectively can be the same or different and can occur in any of the position combinations relative to each other.

The amidine in its free base form employed as starting material in the above described process is prepared from its corresponding salt, e.g. the hydrochloride by reacting this salt with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base in a suitable solvent, for example, sodium acetonide in acetone, triethylamine in chloroform, or sodium methoxide in benzene. It is preferred to use the resulting solution of the amidine directly in the next step but the amidine can be isolated by conventional techniques before use.

Amidine salts belong to a generally known class of compounds and can be readily prepared from nitriles by methods well known in the art of chemistry. Thus, a desired amidine can be obtained by conversion of the corresponding nitrile of the formula RC EN VIII to the salt of the corresponding imino-ether followed by treatment with an amine of the formula where R and R have the meaning hereinbefore defined for R and R of formula I.

The following general procedure illustrates the method that can be used for the preparation of the salt of the amidine of formula VI.

Dry hydrogen chloride gas is passed through an icebath cooled solution of 2 moles of the intermediate nitrile in ml. absolute ether and 2.1 moles of dry methyl alcohol until 2.6 moles is absorbed and the resulting solution is allowed to stand at about 5 C. for about three days. The resulting solid imino-methylether hydrochloride is ground to a paste under absolute ethyl alcohol and added to a solution of 2.2 moles of the intermediate amine in 400 ml. absolute ethyl alcohol and the solution is stirred at room temperature for three hours and then kept at about 5 C. for about sixteen hours during which time the amidine hydrochloride generally precipitates in crystalline form and can be isolated by filtration and used without further purification in the next step. Alternatively the amidine hydrochloride can be recrystallized from a suitable solvent before use.

The nitriles of formula VIII where R is R R N-Y, that is R1Rz-NYCEN (Formula VIIIa), employed as starting materials in the hereinbefore described process are prepared by conventional procedures from the corresponding halonitriles having the formula XY-C-=N (X), where X is iodo, by reaction with an appropriate amine of the formula R R NH. The amines of formula R R NH belong to a class of well known compounds and are readily available.

The iodonitriles of formula X are obtained by a conventional procedure from the corresponding halonitrile having the formula X-'YCEN (Xa), where X is bromo or chloro, by reaction with sodium iodide.

The nitriles having the formula Xa are generally known compounds or are prepared from known compounds by conventional procedures. For example, haloalkanoic acids of the formula II X-Y-C-OH,

where X is bromine or chlorine, are converted by conventional procedures to the corresponding amides of formula which are then dehydrated by known procedures, e.g. with phosphorus pentachloride, to the nitriles of formula Xa. Alternatively they can be prepared from known dibasic carboxylic acids, Y(CO H) by well known procedures, for example, conversion of the appropriate acid to its dimethyl ester followed by reduction, for example, with sodium in absolute ethyl alcohol, to the corresponding diol, further reacting the diol with a halogenating agent, for example, hydrobromic acid or phosphorus pentachloride to give the corresponding dihalo compound Y(X) and finally reacting the dihalo compound with a metallic cyanide, for example sodium or potassium cyanide, to give the corresponding nitrile of formula Xa.

The nitriles of formula VI'II where [R is alkyl belong to a well known class of compounds and are known compounds or can be prepared from the corresponding known acids and amides by well known procedures as described above for the preparation of the nitriles of formula Xa. Alternatively they can be prepared by another well known procedure, for example, by reacting an appropriate alkyl halide RX, where X is chloro, bromo or iodo, with a metallic cyanide such as an alkali cyanide, for example, sodium cyanide to give the corresponding nitrile of formula V III.

The isocyanates of formula VH and the carbamyl chlorides of formula VIIa employed as starting materials in the hereinbefore described process each belong to a well known class of compounds and can be readily prepared by conventional methods, for example, by condensing an amine of the formula Fla-1 1E X1 where Ph has the meaning hereinbefore defined for Ph of formula VII and R' is hydrogen or lower-alkyl, with one equivalent of phosgene in a suitable solvent, for example toluene, to give the corresponding carbamyl chloride (formula VIIA, R' is H or lower-alkyl), and, when R' is hydrogen, either heating or distilling the resulting carbamyl chloride, or treating the resulting carbamyl chloride with a suitable acid acceptor, e.g., sodium carbonate, whereupon the isocyanate or formula V II is obtained with concomitant elimination of hydrogen chloride. The resulting corresponding isocyanate or carbamyl chloride can be isolated and purified by standard techniques.

Other well known procedures that can be used for the preparation of the isocyanates of formula VII are the Hofimann, Curtius, or Lossen rearrangements of appropriate arnides, acid azides, or hydroxamic acids respectively obtained by well known procedures from the known corresponding carboxylic acids of the formula Ph-ii-OH XII where Ph has the meaning hereinbefore defined for Ph of formula VI I.

Compounds having formulas III, IV and V are prepared by the methods described hereinbefore for the preparation of compounds of formulas I and II using the appropriate amidines and isocyanates or isothiocyanates as illustrated by the following reaction sequences:

where R, 'R", m, n, R R R and R have meanings hereinbefore defined for formulas H'I, IV and V and Q is one or two to n of the same or different substituents of the group consisting of lower-alkoxy, benzyloxy, loweralkanoyloxy, di(lower-alkylamino), lower-alkanoylamino, lower-alkylmercapto, t-rihalomethoxy, trihalomethyl, nitro, cyano and halo.

The amidines of formulas XI'II, XV and XVIII employed as starting materials in the hereinbefore described process are prepared from the corresponding nitriles, that is R--CEN (VIII), 'R CEN and R5CEN respectively using the method described hereinbefore for the preparation of amidines of formula VI.

The nitriles having the formulas R3-CEN and R5CEN used as starting materials in the above process are known compounds.

The isocyanates of formulas XVI and XVIII employed as starting materials in the hereinbefore described process are generally known or are prepared from the corresponding known amines or known carboxylic acids by the conventional methods described hereinbefore for the preparation of the isocyanates of formula VII.

The isothiocyanates of formula XIV employed as starting materials in the hereinbefore described process are generally known compounds and can be prepared by conventional procedures, for example, by reaction of an appropriate aniline with thiophosgene in a manner similar to that described hereinbefore for the preparation of the isocyanate of formula VII.

The carbimidoylureas of our invention exist in tautomeric forms as illustrated by the formulas As with all tautomeric systems, the rate of transformation I=IA and the ratio I/IA are dependent on the thermodynamic environment, including the state of aggregation, so that measurements by any particular technique do not necessarily have validity except under the conditions of the measurement, thereby, among other consequences, giving rise to problems for any simple designation of the physical embodiments. Thus, measurement of the infrared spectra in potassium bromide admixture and measurement of the nuclear magnetic spectra are not helpful in determining which tautomeric form, I or IA is present or predominates and therefore the names based on structure I are preferred although it is understood that either or both structures 1 and IA are comprehended.

In a like manner, the carbimidoylureas of Formulas II, III, IV and V also exist in similar tautomeric forms but names based on structures II, III, -IV and V are preferred.

Throughout this specification it will be understood that the term alkyl means a group preferably having from one to fourteen carbon atoms which can be arranged in a straight or branched chain as illustrated, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, heptyl, nonyl, decyl or tetradecyl.

Throughout this specification, the term alkylene means a divalent hydrocarbon chain preferably having from one to twelve carbon atoms, which can be arranged in a straight or branched chain, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is illustrated by methylene, 1,2-ethylene, 1,3-propylene, 1,2-(1-methylethylene), 1,4- butylene, 1,12-dodecylene and the like.

Here and elsewhere throughout this specification it will be understood that the terms lower-alkyl, loweralkoxy and lower-alkanoyl each mean a group preferably containing from one to six carbon atoms which can be arranged in a straight or branched chain as illustrated, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, pentyl, or hexyl for lower-alkyl; methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, or hexyloxy for lower-alkoxy; and acetyl, propionyl, trimethylacetyl, and capropyl for lower-alkanoyl.

As used throughout this specification the term halo includes chloro, bromo, fluoro and iodo.

The novel carbimidoylureas of the instant invention exist in either base or acid-addition salt form. The compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV and V in free base form, are converted to the acid-addition salt form by interaction of the base with an acid. In like manner, the free bases can be regenerated from the acid-addition salt form in the conventional manner, that is, by treating the salts with strong aqueous bases, for example alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, and alkali metal bicarbonates. The bases thus regenerated can then be interacted with the same or a different acid to give back the same or a different acid-addition salt. Thus the novel bases and all of their acid-addition salts are readily inter-convertible, and are the full equivalents of each other.

It will thus be appreciated the formulas I, H, III, IV and V not only represent the structural configuration of the bases of formulas I, II, III, IV and V but are also representative of the structural entity which is common to all of our compounds of formulas I, II, III, IV and V whether in the form of the free bases or in the form of the acid-addition salts of the bases. We have found that by virtue of this common structural entity, the bases and their acid-addition salts have inherent pharmacodynamic activity of a type more fully described herein. This inherent pharmacodynamic activity can be enjoyed in useful form for pharmaceutical purposes by employing the free bases themselves or the acid-addition salts formed from pharmaceuticallyacceptable acids, that is, acids whose anions are innocuous to the animal organism in effective doses of the salts so that beneficial properties inherent in the common structural entity represented by the free bases are not vitiated by side-effects ascribable to the anions.

In utilizing this pharmacodynamic activity of the salts of the compounds of formula I, H, IH, IV and V, we prefer of course to use pharmaceutically-acceptable salts. Although water-insolubility, high toxicity, or lack of crystalline character may make some particular salt species unsuitable or less desirable for use as such in a given pharmaceutical application, the water-insoluble or toxic salts can be converted to the corresponding pharmaceutically-acceptable bases by decomposition of the salt with aqueous base as explained above, or alternatively, they can be converted to any desired pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salt by double decomposition reactions involving the anion, for example, by ion-exchange pro cedures.

Moreover, apart from their usefulness in pharmaceutical applications, our salts are useful as characterizing or identifying derivatives of the free bases or in isolation or purification procedures. Like all of the acid-addition salts, such characterizing or purification salt derivatives can, if desired, be used to regenerate the pharmaceutically-acceptable free bases by reaction of the salts with aqueous base, or alternatively can be converted to a pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salt by, for example, ionexchange procedures.

It will be appreciated from the foregoing that all of the acid-addition salts of our new bases are useful and valuable compounds, regardless of considerations of solubility, toxicity, physical form, and the like, and are accordingly within the purview of the instant invention.

The novel feature of the compounds of the invention, then, resides in the concept of the bases and cationic forms of the new imidoylureas and imidoylthioureas and not in any particular acid moiety or acid anion associated with the salt forms of our compounds; rather, the acid moieties or anions which can be associated in the salt forms are in themselves neither novel nor critical and therefore can be any acid anion or acid-like substance capable of salt formation with bases. In fact, in aqueous solutions, the base form or water-soluble acid-addition salt form of the compounds of the invention both possess a common protonated cation or ammonium ion.

Thus the acid-addition salts discussed above and claimed herein are prepared from any organic acid, inorganic acid (including organic acids having an inorganic group therein), or organo-metallic acid as-exemplified by organic mono and polycarboxylic acids, such as found, for example, in Beilsteins Organische Chemie, 4th ed., Volumes III, IV, IX, X, XIV, XVII, XIX, XXI, XXII,.and XXV; organic monoand polysulfonic and -sulfinic acids, such as found, for example, in Beilstein Volumes VI, XI, XVI, and XXII; organic phosphonic and phosphinic acids, such as found, for example, in Beilstein Volumes XI and XVI; organic acids of arsenic and antimony, such as found, for example, in Beilstein Volume XVI; organic heterocyclic carboxylic, sulfonic, and sulfinic acids, such as found, for example, in Beilstein Volumes XVIII, XXII, and XXV; acidic ion-exchange resins; and inorganic acids of any acid forming element or combination of elements, such as found in Mellor, Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry, Longmans Green and Co., New York, NY. Volumes IXVI. In addition, other saltforming compounds which are acidic in their chemical properties but which are not generally considered as acids in the same sense as carboxylic or sulfonic acids are'also considered to be among the numerous acids which can be used to prepare acid-addition salts of the compounds of the invention. Thus there is also comprehended acidic phenolic compounds, such as found, for example, in Volume VI of Beilstein, acidic compounds having activated or acidic hydrogen atoms, as for example, picrolonic acid, or barbituric acid derivatives having an acidic proton, such as found, for example, in Cox et al. Medicinal Chemistry, Vol., IV, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, NY. 1959). Also comprehended as salt forming agents are socalled Lewis acids which lack a pair of electrons in the outer electron shell and react with basic compounds having an unshared pair of electrons to form salts, for example boron trifluoride.

Representative acids for the formation of the acid-additron salts include formic acid, acetic acid, trifiuoroacetic acid, isobutyric acid, alpha-mercaptopropionic acid, malic 'acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, succinamic acid, glutamic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, pamoic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, gluconic acid, saccharic acid, ascorbic acid, penicillin, benzoic acid, 4-methoxybenzoic acid, phthalic acid, salicylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, anthranilic acid, l-naphthalenecarboxylic acid, cinnamic ac d, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, mandelic acid, tropic ac d, crotonic acid, acetylene dicarboxylic acid, sorbic acid, pyromucic acid, cholic acid, pyrenecarboxylic acid, 2-pyr1d1necarboxylic acid, 3-indole-acetic acid, quinic acid, sulfa ruc acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, rsethronic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic ac d, benzenesulfinic acid, butylarsonic acid, diethylphosphmrc acid, p-aminophenylarsinic acid, phenylstibnic acid, phenylphosphinous acid, methane-phosphonic acid, phenylphosphinic acid, acidic resins, hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid, perchloric ac d, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrocyanic acid, phosphotungstic acid, molybdic acid,

phosphomolybdic acid, pyrophosphoric acid, arsenic acid, picrrc acid, picrolonic acid,

barbituric acid, bor orrde, and the like. on mflu T'he acid-addition salts are prepared either by dissolving the free base in an aqueous solution containing the appropr rate acid and isolating the salt by evaporating the solution,or by reacting the free base and acid in an orgame solvent, in which case the salt separates directly or can be obtained by concentration of the solution.

The compounds of formulas I, II, IV and V of this invent on have been tested in dogs by standard chemotherapeutic evaluation procedures described hereinbelow and were found to possess anthelmintic activity, in particular anti-hookworm activity. In addition, some of these compounds also possess anti-tapeworm activity. They are therefore useful as anthelmintic agents, in particular as anti-hookworm agents.

9 TEST PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY Anti-hookworm Activity: Both naturally infected and artificially infected mongrel dogs were used in the test. The naturally infected dogs carried a burden of two kinds of hookworm (Uncinaria stenocephala and Ancylostoma caninum). The artifically infected dogs were treated with suflicient hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum) larvae approximately one month prior to treatment with a test agent to insure that a mature infection would be present at the time of the test. Food was withheld from the dogs for a minimum of five hours prior to, and for three to five hours after, each administration of the test agent. Equal doses of the test agent were administered orally to from two to three dogs, infected naturally or artificially, one to two doses per dog per day for from one to five consecutive days. The dogs were sacrificed five to eight days postfirst medication and the intestines were searched for worms.

The above described test procedure can also be used in the determination of anthelmintic activity where the host is infected by other intestinal vermiform parasites, for example tapeworm.

The carbimidoylureas of formulas I, II, IV and V of this invention were found to reduce or eliminate the helminth burden from hookworm infested dogs when administered in the dose range of from 10 to 125 mg./kg. (calculated on the basis of the free base). The number of doses administered ranged from one to two per day for from one to five consecutive days, depending on the severity of the helminth infestation.

The actual determination of the numerical biological data definitive for a particular compound of formulas I, H, IV and V is readily determined by standard test procedures by technicians versed in pharmacological test procedures, without the need for any extensive experimentation.

The carbimidoylureas of formulas I, II, IV and V can be incorporated in unit dosage form as tablets or capsules for oral administration either alone or in combination with suitable adjuvants such as calcium carbonate, starch, lactose talc, magnesium stearate, gum acacia, and the like.

Furthermore, if it is desired to broaden the spectrum of activity and/or to secure the advantages of potentiated action, the formulations can have incorporated in them, in addition to the compounds of formulae I, II, IV and V, one or more other orally effective anthelmintic and/or potentiating agents. For example such agents, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, can be illustrated by piperazine in the case of ascariasis and enterobiasis; thiabendazole in the case of ascariasis, strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis and trichionosis; pyrvinium in the case of enterobiasis and strongyloidiasis; quinacrine, aspidium, bithionol and niclosamide in the case of tapeworm infections; bithionol in case of trematode infections and bi phenium in the case of ascariasis and trichuriasis.

Still further the carbimidoylureas of formulas I, II, IV and V can be formulated for oral administration in aqueous alcohol, glycol, or oil solutions or oil-water emulsions in the same manner as conventional medicinal substances are prepared; they can be formulated for oral use with foodstuffs or admixed with foodstuffs for veterinary use.

The compounds of formulas I, II, IV and V are preferably administered orally and the amount of a particular compound to be administered, either by itself or as the essentially active ingredient in a formulation will range from about 10 to about 125 mg. (calculated on the basis of the free base) per kilogram of body weight of the helminth infested animal and the number of doses to be administered will range from one to two per day for from one to five consecutive days, depending on the severity of the helminth infestation.

The compounds of formula III of this invention have been tested in rats by a standard endocrinological evaluation procedure described hereinbelow and were found to possess antifertility activity. They are therefore useful as antifertility agents.

TEST PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ANTIFERTILITY ACTIVITY Mature female rats were medicated daily with the test agent for two days prior to insemination by proven male rats and daily for six days after insemination (a total of eight medications). The rats were autopsied fifteen days after insemination and their uteri were removed and examined for evidence of pregnancy. The test agents were administered either as suspensions, depending on solubility and dosage level, in ten percent ethyl alcohol-cottonseed oil.

The carbimidoylthioureas of formula III of this invention were found to be effective as antifertility agents when administered either subcutaneously or orally to female rats in the dose range of from 50 to mg./kg. X8 days (calculated on the basis of the free base) according to the procedure described above.

The actual determination of the numerical biological data definitive for a particular compound of formula HI is readily determined by standard test procedures by technicians versed in pharmacological test procedures, without the need for any extensive experimentation.

The compounds of formula III of this invention can be prepared for use by dissolving under sterile conditions a salt form of the compounds in Water (or an equivalent amount of a non-toxic acid if the free base is used), or in a physiologically compatible aqueous medium such as saline, and stored in ampoules for intramuscular injection. Alternatively, they can be incorporated in unit dosage form as tablets or capsules for oral administration either alone or in combination with suitable adjuvants such as calcium carbonate, starch, lactose, talc, magnesium stearate, gum acacia, and the like. Still further the compounds can be formulated for oral administration in aqueous alcohol, glycol, or oil solutions or oil-water emulsions in the same manner as conventional medicinal substances are prepared.

The molecular structures of the compounds of this invention were assigned on the basis of the method of their synthesis and study of their infrared spectra, and confirmed by the correspondence between calculated and found values for the elementary analysis for representaive examples.

The following examples will further illustrate the invention without, however, limiting it thereto:

Example 1.1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(pentanimidoyl)urea To a stirred mixture, prepared by reacting 4.6 g. sodium with 300 ml. dry acetone at room temperature, was added 27.2 g. valeramidine hydrochloride in one portion and stirring was continued for twenty minutes. To the resulting mixture was added dropwise, during one and one-half hours, a solution of 30.7 g. 4-chlorophenyl isocyanate in 100 ml. dry acetone with stirring and external cooling in order to prevent the exothermic reaction from heating the mixture above room temperature. Stirring was continued at room temperature for eighteen hours and the mixture was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in ether and the sodium chloride was removed by filtration. The filtrate Was chilled and treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride until acidic and the resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with ether, and recrystallized from ethyl alcohol to give 34.6 g. of the hydrochloride of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)- 3-(pentanimidoyl)urea; m.p. 202-204 C.

A suspension of 10 g. of the hydrochloride in 100 ml. dry ether was treated with 3 ml. of isopropylamine with stirring. The mixture was allowed to stand for one hour at room temperature, the solids were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from benzenehexane to yield 1 (4-chlorophenyl)-3-(pentanimidoyl) urea; m.p. 82-84" C.

To a stirred solution of 30 g. of the free base in 750 ml. methyl alcohol was added a solution of 30 g. sodium lauryl sulfate in 250 ml. water. After thirty minutes water was added to the solution and the mixture was cooled and filtered to give 40.9 g. l-(4-chlorophenyl)-3- (pentanimidoyl)urea lauryl sulfate, m.p. 188.5189 C. (from ethyl acetate).

Treatment of a benzene solution of the free base with a stoichiometric amount of lactic acid, evaporation to dryness under reduced pressure, and trituration with ether yielded the lactate of 1- (4-chlorophenyl)-3-(pentanim1doyl)urea; m.p. 100-103 C.

Treatment of an isopropyl alcohol solution of the free base with an aqueous solution of a stoichiometric amount of sulfamic acid, evaporation to dryness under reduced pressure, and recrystallization from isopropyl alcohol yielded the sulfamate of 1 (4-chlorophenyl)-3-(pentanimidoyl)urea; m.p. 143.5-145 C.

To 300 ml. stirred water, cooled to 5 C. and with continued cooling at 5 to C., was added simultaneously and dropwise, during forty minutes, a solution of g. 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(pentanimidoyl)urea hydrochloride in 600 ml. water and a solution of 23.3 g. disodium 4,4- methylene-bis-(3-hydroxy 2 naphthoate), hereinafter pamoate, in 600 ml. water, such that a slight excess of the pamoate over the hydrochloride was maintained during the addition. The mixture was stirred an additional twenty minutes and the solids were collected by fitration, recrystallization of which from absolute ethyl alcohol yielded 1- (4-ch1orophenyl -3- pentanimidoyl) urea hemipamoate; m.p. 164169 C.
